He looked and saw a conical mud hut
with two square holes ON opposite sides, and
a gentle smoke fioated up through the point
OF the roof, which was apparently vent
hole
"Whatfn
That's the palace. The King and Queen
are in there waiting for YOU"
They entered In the centre, in what
looked like "a kind of mire, sat fat, black,
dignified fellow, whose protection from the
inclemency of the weather was a wisp Of
cotton tied around his waist. By his side
sat small, dark lady of acquiescent, con-
tented mien, whose toilet had all fallen
around her waist, too-at least, she hadn't
any anywhere else.
"Hullo!n said the newcomer in the Ian
guage OF the country. "Hullo, old chap,
how are you!" Then more politely, "This
is the new Consul from America"
The new Consul, who had been practicing
his bow ever since his application had been
filed, made an obeisance, when pig sud-
denly ran in by one entrance, skipped be-
tween his genuflections, landed him head
first in the mire and skipped out by the OPP
posite hole in the hut. All dignity was out
ragged, but the King didn't mind it nor did
the numerous royal family who lay around
promiscuously without any toilet at all.
That's all right, old boy" said the resi-
dent to the embarrassed Consul. We've
got up ball for you tonight and you'll see
the King and Queen in style there
So the Consul got his trunk out, got his
dress suit, his white tie, his white gloves and
his patent-leathers ready and presented him
self at the 'hotel" where the ball was to be.
The hotel was a wooden frame with mud
roof. The King and Queen entered in grand
style, with little more toilet of a loose
kind, and the new Consul came in with the
Kings sister, noble princess, and they all
had royal night of it. Before the new
Consul had gone to bed i'll the morning the
princess royal returned from the palace,
paid him a special call and solicited his
washing. He does not look for any dignity
in his position now. He is looking for profit.
A man ought to gain something from being
O Consul.

HIS DREAM DIsPBLLED.
An American Consuls Experience in
tAs South Sea Islands.
From the Son Francisco Chronicle.


From the Son Francisco Chronicle.
A consulship sounds very big till you get
there. There are innumerable islands in
the South Pacific, and tribes who declare
war, fight, publish proclamations of def
5ance, and seem altogether extraordinarily
heroic. The United States sent a consul to
one group lately wherein the ideal was
grand, immense. Kneeling subjects in the
shape OF American citizens, suppliant chiefs
and trembling kings, with all the attendant
gorgeousness and dignity, filled his minds
eye. He busted himself on an outfit, laid
IN an elegant dress suit a pair of patent
leather shoes, white ties, white gloves and
a., enormous diamond pin for his shirt front.
mus equipped he sailed away with all the
conscious pride of a representative Of grand
republic From the port he landed at he
was conveyed i'll O. small sailing vessel to the
point Of officialdom4 As the Ship entered
the otling, the flag Of the United States
gayy lying at the masthead, the white
residents of the island came Off in a small
Doat TO welcome him. The new official re-
S 5s them atfably, was quite amiable, and
uld not put on too many airs
Come ON shore with us and we'll present
YOU to the King" said the welcomers.
A. The Kingl | can't go up TO the palace in
ohls dress My trunks are in the hold |
can't present myself TO the King like this"
Oh, come with us; that's all right You
can put ON all your finery and call on him
"galn He's waiting for YOU"
waiting for me"
Yes; we told him the Consul was coming"
And he's waiting for mel don't know
Mhat to do. ! can't keep his majesty wait
ing, but can hardly go up in this dress"
On, that will do. He won't mind"
AND they tumbled him into the boat and
ocok him on shore If you've ever tried to
ssOep out of boat on shelving beach you

stepped clear into the water and went roll

Different Views Taken of the
Same Event.
The other day Smith had a fight
with Brown, and after the scrim-
mage he walked down street and
met friend, relating the affair
about as follows:
ST just had row with Brown,
and you bet it was dandy"
"Hurt him much ?"
"Well, I lifted him a couple of
smashers in the jaw that made him
wonder whether he was a-foot or on
horseback"
Chow did it happen?"
''He started in to give me some
of his lip, and I said: See here,
you lop-eared
don't talk to me- and then 1 let
him have one right smack in the
nose, and you bet he thought a
Government mule had kicked him
twice. plastered him another in
the eye, and then 1 spun him round
with a daisy in the left ear. 1t
knocked him colder'n a wedge, I
tell ye."
"Did he get in any on your"
"Narry lick, He made several
wild passes, but couldn't deliver the
baggage. Pm too lively for his
kind"
Next day in the Police Court
Smith gives the following version of
the same row:
81 was walking peaceably along
Main street, your Honor, when he
came up and began to call me hard
names"
"What did you call him ?"
81 merely said he was no gentle
man, and tired to pass on"
''Did you hit him?''
''No sir! / never make a prac-
tice of assaulting anybody. He
struck me several hard blows in the
face, knocking me down, and all
did was to ward off the blows. 1
am not a fighting man, may it
please the Court; never hit a man
in my life. warded off the blows
as long as I was able, and then he
knocked me down twice. If I hit
him it must have been purely acct
dental. AS I said before L am not
a fighting man, and never hit any
body in my ife."
